Panel: Integrating an Acquisition into Your Business

on YouTube ↗45m

" summary

Panelists describe concrete outcomes: acquisitions keep founders and teams in place, preserve studio autonomy, and add data science and ad-buy scale plus operational services for live ops; common safeguards are clear KPIs, a tidy data room and legal docs, and long vesting or earnouts (one deal starts with a £700m valuation and an uncapped earn‑out); pitfalls include cultural mismatch, changing external perception, and pausing business during talks — successful deals align incentives and keep the studio running.
